You might not be able to attend Hogwarts in real life, but you can still leave your muggleness behind when you build Lego's new Hogwarts Castle, a mind-bending 6,020-piece model of the iconic wizarding school from the Harry Potter series.

The massive castle set covers everything from the Great Hall (complete with stained glass windows) to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Dumbledore's office and the Chamber of Secrets. You could easily spend days exploring all the nooks and crannies of the completed build.

The Hogwarts set includes the Whomping Willow.

The castle comes with four minifigures — of Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin and Rowena Ravenclaw — but practically the entire cast of characters comes along for the broom ride in the form of 27 microfigures. This includes Harry Potter himself, as well as his buddies Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger and a selection of students and teachers

Lego hasn't forgotten the villains and scary creatures. The set also comes with microfigures of Dementors and Lord Voldemort so you can act out the whole Potter prophecy in plastic.
